Vase (one of a pair) 1720 - 1730

This porcelain vase, crafted in Vienna between 1720 and 1730, showcases the European fascination with Chinoiserie during the 18th century. Its elegant form is adorned with a vibrant landscape scene, painted in the style of Chinese porcelain, and features a pair of intricately molded and painted dragons. The vase, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistic exchange and stylistic influences of the period.
